Disorders of The Eye

The eyes are undoubtedly the most sensitive and delicate organs we possess, and perhaps the most amazing. They present us with the window through which we view the world, and are responsible for four fifths of all the information our brain receives, which is probably why we rely on our eyesight more than any other sense. Some eye problems are minor and fleeting. But some lead to a permanent loss of vision.Your best defense is to have regular checkups, because eye diseases do not always have symptoms. Early detection and treatment could prevent vision loss. See an eye care professional right away if you have a sudden change in vision or everything looks dim or if you see flashes of light. Other symptoms that need quick attention are pain, double vision, fluid coming from the eye and inflammation.

According to WHO estimates:

Approximately 285 million people worldwide live with serious vision impairment

Of these, 39 million people are blind and 246 million have moderate to severe visual impairment;

Also included, 153 million people are visually impaired due to uncorrected refractive errors (near-sightedness, far-sightedness or astigmatism). In most cases, normal vision could be restored with eyeglasses or contact lenses

Yet 75% of blindness is avoidable - i.e. treatable and/or preventable

90% of blind people live in low-income countries

Restorations of sight, and blindness prevention strategies are among the most cost-effective interventions in health care

Infectious causes of blindness are decreasing as a result of public health interventions and socio-economic development. Blinding trachoma now affects fewer than 80 million people, compared to 360 million in 1985

Aging populations and lifestyle changes mean that chronic blinding conditions such as diabetic retinopathy are projected to rise exponentially

Women face a significantly greater risk of vision loss than men

Without effective, major intervention, the number of blind people worldwide has been projected to increase to 76 million by 2020
